Mr. Farmhouse Swipes the Camera Again

Saturday night, Mr. Farmhouse and I were heading home from a rare dinner out all alone...nothing romantic, just dressing halfway decent and a quick trip to the best local restaurant in town that we have gone to for years for a dinner of our favorite there: fish and chips.

(OH YUM, was it ever good! Perfection, really!)

On our way home when we got closer to home and away from town, we could see a fog forming very close to the ground. He got all excited and said we're going to get a good heavy frost and there will be some good pictures in the morning.

He remembered last year's beauties and was all excited to get up in the morning and let the dogs out and then start shooting. (He used my trusty little easy-t0-use Kodak which rarely has ever let us down and comes in consistently with solid results.) Mind you: THIS from a man who would hardly ever even touch a camera the first 25 or so years of our marriage.

But the digital thing and seeing instant results is helping him to gain confidence and look at the awesome shots he got. I did the editing and cropping but I'm impressed with his artful shooting and he gets ALL the credit. I'm showing them off to you because I'm so proud! The one at the top is just exquisite.

Wow,those are just beautiful shots! He really does have an eye for photography. My favorite is the ice on the chicken wire. Makes me want to reach out & swipe my fingers along it.(With woolen mittens on, of course. ha,ha)Great texture & light.

Welcome To the Farmhouse

Hi, I'm Joni!I'm a Michigan mom and am richin all the ways that count.... live a simple life in the country, have a family that I love and they love me, I go to bed at night on sheets that have been dried in the sun and kissed by the wind, eat food from my garden and find joy in simple pleasures and a few hobbies, can pet and love and take care of our animals, and perhaps most of all: I have learned in my life to enjoy hard work. I can't ask for anything more and am blessed.

Goin' Home

Goin' home--what a lovelier word

Ever--ever--could be heard,

Home to warmth and firelight,

Little rooms that shine at night,

Back to the comfort of old things,

A kitchen where a kettle sings.

Goin' home--with heart aglow.

Down the old road white with snow.

There a lighted window gleams.

Sending out its golden beams

Like a lighthouse tall and white,

Shining out against the night.

Goin' home--what lovelier word

Ever--ever--has been heard?
